This week, David Cameron was on a mission in Brussels to re-sell his controversial speech held in January. In his speech, the Prime Minister promised an “in-out” referendum on British EU membership after the next elections, as support for the EU was “wafer-thin” in Britain after poor crisis management. Cameron does have a point: Eurosceptics have gained ground within the Conservative Party and Britain, but also all over Europe. So, why has Cameron changed his opinion and now tries to make-believe that his speech was nothing more than a list of proposals benefiting the whole of the EU?
